Floriana vs Hibernians Prediction: Back Floriana For Victory

The last round of the Matchday 2 finishes with Floriana drawing swords against the Green Hibbees. The two sides have had quite the experience, and even though Floriana has been the better side, Hibernians have always given them tough times in recent pairings. The last meeting between the sides produced a 1-1 lock, and this time, as usual, we know that home advantage may not count in this sort of clash.

Floriana (2nd)

Last Five Matches: D-W-D-W-W

Unbeaten in ten games, Floriana has taken Eleven whooping Points in the last five league games, skimming two wins and two stalemates. Last week’s 1-0 victory over Mosta FC guaranteed their second-place perch in a match that saw them score in the 95th minute - the literal last, courtesy of Jake Grech.

They have taken three wins and two stalemates at home, their unbeaten form unfettered with seven goals.

Franklin Sasere remains our favourite, with high hopes of him finding the back of the net, as he has always done in prestige games like this.

Hibernians (4th)

Last Five Matches: L-W-W-D-L

The Hibbees have had quite the experience, with two losses, one stalemate and two wins in the last five games. Despite strategic substitutions, they defeated the Sliema Wanderers the previous week in a 3-1 game that saw the side equalise and struggle till the final whistle.

Away from home, they have taken three wins, two losses and two stalemates.

H2H ANALYSIS (LAST THREE MEETINGS)

The last three games between the sides produced less than three goals with Floriana winning twice and a stalemate, which doubled as a BTTS.
